Wight Skipper Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hi, what is the best way to improve the drivability of the little Sigma 1.6? And to possibly add a little more power throughout the rev range without breaking the bank? Is there an ECU tuner or upgrade? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCol Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) I can highly recommend Premier Power’s work… does depend how big your bank is as to whether it gets broken! Lowest price(/best value?) option is their ultra-light flywheel - won’t add power but will improve drivability. Thereafter, you’ll be a kid in a toy shop… 💷 💷 💷 🤷🏼♂️ Worth speaking to Stuart - he won’t give you the hard sell (he doesn’t need to)! edited to add, I believe Luke at Team Leos might be able to offer a remap of the standard Caterham ECU, so that might be an alternative route.

GulfSeven Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Which particular Sigma 1.6 do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtBuddha Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Sell the Sigma and install a Hayabusa(!) 200 bhp+ from standard engine, revs to 11k rpm, you get a free 6-speed sequential gearbox plus you gain the HUGE benefits of lighter weight, lightning-fast turn-in, absurdly short braking distances, much better acceleration, and an exhaust note that puts the biggest grin on your face this side of taking Class A drugs 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded. I've been very happy with my conversion. night and day difference over 270/310 stock from CC... Excellent service. No hard sell, superb engineering.
